Scotland to Ban ICE Vehicles From All City Centers by 2050; Only EVs Will Be Allowed In

According to Press TV, the Scottish government is looking to make a bold move that will highly favor electric vehicles over any ICE transport in city centers.

Scotland To Go EV-Only by 2050

It’s being reported that Scotland intends to completely ban ICE vehicle from its city center by 2050

That move will cut down on pollutants in congested areas (this must be done to comply with European Union guidelines), while simultaneously promoting the purchase of electric vehicles.

The idea is that Scottish government will lead the way by replacing all of its ICE fleet vehicles with electrics and by equipping the majority of government building with charging stations to encourage the rest of the public to follow its lead.

Yes 2050 is really too far off. It actually sounds more like a counterproductive reassurance that ICE vehicles will be allowed in city centers at least until 2050.
On a realistic basis, if you don’t want to take a person by surprise, and considering a really long life of 15 years for a ICE car bought in 2013, you would put the ban at most in 2028, not 2050.
